Does anyone know when the badge, housing and event reg dates will be posted for next year. I like to get started on planning as soon as possible.

Also Gen Con for you Key Dates, in the future, can you add when we will know the Key Dates for the next year! ;) 

I don't believe many dates have been announced yet, but here's the short post I share on the Gen Con Indy Facebook group (and update as dates become available).
